In this free guitar lesson, you learn how to play in the style of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl.” This song is a great example of using third and sixth intervals on guitar as well as using fragmented chord shapes and inversions drawn from the CAGED system. Techniques involved include arpeggiation and hybrid picking. This guitar instruction is recommended for intermediate level players on up.
